Emberline SMP is a small survival world that only wants around 20 players total. The owner is just tired of giant servers with tons of people or worlds that never even start.
The server is pretty much vanilla. It only has proximity voice chat one player sleep and player head drops. That is it. No crazy plugins or confusing stuff.
You join the discord and submit an application and once there are 20 people the server starts. Those 20 are the whole community so it should feel tighter and less chaotic.
There is a tutorial in the discord that shows you how to install the proximity chat so everyone can actually use it.
If you want a simple survival server with a small group this looks like what they are going for.
Emberline SMP – Small 20 Player Vanilla

Enable Fishing Rod Stasis Glitches
I found a Purpur server running on 1.21.11 and it is all about letting players use stasis glitches.
The main thing people ask about is getting the fishing rod stasis glitch working by changing the right lines in the yml files. This place feels like it is for players who like testing weird Minecraft mechanics and messing with server settings to make them possible.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPNo Rules Vanilla Chaos Survival
I found 1fighter2defenders and it is a survival server that tries to stay as vanilla as possible
There are no gameplay rules and there are no admins running around fixing stuff. There are no land claims and no protection so anything can happen. Griefing building and cheating are all allowed and it is basically anything goes
They also say there are no server sided dupes and the world does not reset. The server started in April 2021 so it has been around for a long time and lots of players have visited
It runs on 1.21 and you can join from 1.17 to 1.21.11GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAlmostAnarchy Vanilla Semi Anarchy Survival
AlmostAnarchy is a vanilla Minecraft server with a semi anarchy feel where you get a lot of freedom to play how you want.
It runs with almost no plugins so it feels close to how the game was meant to be. Hacks and cheats are not allowed.
The player count is usually small around 3 to 5 and peak can reach 10. Even with that the community is really active and people have made some impressive projects you can check out when you join.
It is a survival world where you can run into people at random. You can team up or test your skills or go all in on huge building projects.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPAshenreach Survival With Relics And Real Wars
Conflict EncouragedCooperation encouragedLimited enchant accessskill-based fightsVoice chat proximity
Ashenreach is a long term public survival server where the world feels grounded and lived in. People still build explore travel and team up but the setup pushes real choices and real conflict instead of everyone being untouchable.
The big hook is custom relics that are hidden around the map. There is a tracking system so relics can be hunted even if they are in a chest in lava or being used by another player. The world is still early so new players can jump in and not feel locked out.
Enchantments are rare so fights stay more fair and gear feels earned. Healing is slower too since it uses UHC regeneration and you need a campfire to heal. The map is handcrafted with custom terrain structures and regions.
SimpleVoiceChat is on so you can talk in game. There is a lands claim plugin for ranks and permissions inside your land but it does not fully stop theft so you still need to plan and defend. The server is meant to last and it has no resets and no ranks or shop.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IPKronos Geopolitical SMP Nation Rush
I found a new SMP that is about geopolitics and nations. It is starting soon and people are trying to join early so they can claim land they want.
There are already over 40 members and it sounds like it could get way bigger fast. Nation creation applications open within a week so the early joiners get the best shot at planning territories.
The server uses mods like Brewery and Immersive Aircraft to make things more interesting. The map is 20000 by 20000 and they said it will expand as more players show up.GG.MINEWIND.NET New Server IP
